Shenandoah Mountain stretches across Augusta and Rockingham Counties in the George Washington and Jefferson National Forests (North River Ranger District). It is a biodiversity treasure, with native forestland for native species habitat, recreation, hunting, fishing and clean water. The Shenandoah Mountain complex includes the largest roadless area east of the Mississippi (Little River roadless area), one of Virginia's highest elevations (Reddish Knob at 4,397') and over 170 miles of trails. This is the literal "backyard" of the Headwaters Master Naturalists, and citizens of the counties we serve. It is important to know and appreciate the rich natural heritage we live beside, and depend upon.
The purpose of this project is to highlight the wildflowers (and other life) that we encounter on these walks. These records will act as a historical and phenological record.
